THE HEADMASTER'S BLOG

What began as a blog for Camp and School parents is now a site to share important information with staff and trustees. The parent blog has migrated to our website.

NCS: chalk and talk

In the span of 40 minutes I dropped into five classes. These classes were excellent and traditional teacher directed lessons with students taking notes from the board or using graphic organizers to handle the large content volume being delivered. The picture shows Mike Tholen
teaching this combined 4th and 5th grade class. The students were being exposed to graphing linear equations. In the 9th grade class students were using the SQ4R method to critically read material for their research paper. Maybe some of you remember it from your school days: survey, questions, read, 'rite, review, and recite. An excellent
academic day!

Bouldering in the Desert

Hello from Hock!

This is my tenth year as the head of the institution. Selden and I met on campus and were married on the lake hill in 1984. Both our children - Jon and Lucy - have gone to, or are presently attending North Country School and Camp Treetops. In this blog I will try to show your children at work and play. I will also share some of the resources that our staff are discussing today. Of course, the definitive word on the subject is best found on our website ... the blog is just to whet your appetite.
